City moves forward with Sunnyside Yard development plans
EDC announced 26-member steering committee to lead development
The city is continuing to move forward with its plans to develop Sunnyside Yard in Queens.
The Economic Development Corporation announced on Wednesday that they had formed a steering committee with 26 members to lead development of a blueprint for the site, according to the New York Post.
Officials hope to establish a mix of housing, affordable housing, schools, parks and open spaces over the rail yard.
Architect Vishaan Chakrabarti will reportedly lead the development team working on a master plan for the 180-acre site, located between Long Island City and Sunnyside. Most decisions on this plan will not be released until after 2021. [NYP] – Eddie Small
